iRacing to model the McLaren MP4-12C GT3

Kevin Watts · Sep 14, 2011

iRacing.com and McLaren have announced a second project with McLaren that will involve bringing the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 to the iRacing service. iRacing regulars will remember the first project between iRacing and McLaren that saw McLaren Electronics's ATLAS data acquisition/telemetry software brought into the iRacing service and this new development will be a most welcome addition. The McLaren MP4-12C GT3 has already raced in the British GT Championship at Spa-Francorchamps, the Total 24 hours of Spa and the Blancpain Endurance Series race at Magny Cours. A McLaren spokesman said:

McLaren Automotive are delighted that iRacing.com has chosen to develop a
virtual edition of the MP4-12C GT3. We believe that the innovative features of
the MP4-12C alongside our GT3 specification modifications will make an exciting
proposition for online simulation racing fans. McLaren made extensive use of
simulator technology in the development of the MP4-12C, and we hope this project
will allow our fans to get a taste of the GT3 car and inspire the online
community to show their support for the McLaren GT teams during the 2012 season

No firm date has been announced for this new car other than it will be available to iRacing members in 2012.
